Rediscover Prayer: A 30-Day Reading Plan From Addison BevereНамуна

REFLECT

Living prayer is where the soul learns to rest. Not the kind of rest that comes from finishing the to-do list, but the deeper rest of trusting that God holds what we cannot. Silence before him steadies us, teaching that strength is born not of striving but of surrender. The psalmist discovered that hope is found in God alone, a refuge that cannot be shaken. Prayer is the doorway into that refuge—the place where rest becomes strength, and stillness becomes faith.

RECENTER

Take a minute to bring yourself back to the true center of your life: God. Here is a simple prayer that will help you surrender this place, this time, and your awareness to God. “I am here.”

REST

Pause. Breathe. Be still.

In the silence and stillness, listen to your life. Let the necessary words and images form in your consciousness. What thoughts are keeping you from entering rest today?

RECEIVE

What is God saying to you? Write down the whispers, the intimations, the promptings that rise from the pages of Scripture or within your spirit.

RESPOND

How is God inviting you to partner with him today? God’s words become real to us as we move in faith.
